Lot 256
1723 Wood's Hibernia Halfpenny Martin 4.14-Fb.1 Rarity-3. PCGS graded MS-64 Red & Brown. Lustrous mint red fading to steel brown, more than a third of the original mint color remaining. This piece is a flawless gem except for some of the usual tiny planchet chips on the portrait and in the center of the reverse, all as struck. Struck very slightly off center to K-2. A premium example of the type, at least equal to the Martin plate coin for the die variety. Pop 18; 6 finer, 4 in 65RB, 2 in 66RB.
Estimated Value $1,500-UP.
